New Jersey: Legislation to Expand Medical Cannabis Program
Legislation is pending, S 10, to expand the state’s medical cannabis program.
The measure would increase the number of licenses the Department of Health can issue to new providers in order to meet New Jersey’s increased patient demand.
Other provisions of the bill would:
Raise the monthly allowed amount of medical marijuana from 2 ounces to 2.5 ounces in 2019 and three ounces in 2020;
Remove the limit on how much medical cannabis terminally ill patients and hospice patients can receive;
Remove the ban on edible medical marijuana to minors;
